The amount of trade.dollars redeemed
to date is about 81 100000; the time ex-
pires by limitation on Sept. 3rd, and it is
supposed most of the coin is now in the
Treasury vaults; there is some excess
over the amount estimated to be out,
which is accounted for by importation
from foreign countries. This week the
Treasury paid out sixteen and quarter
millions for pensions, bnt, notwithstand-
ing this heavy disbursement the excess of
Government receipts over expenditures

The CHRONICLE has always advocated
the formation of an immigration board
in Montana, such as has been created in
Dakota, Washington territory and Ore
gon. Mr. Collins, of Choteau county,
has introduced bill providing for the
appointment Of an immigration agent,
which ,hay lead mp to the creation OF a
board; but in our opinion, one man
would work too much for one section of
the territory, and that at least three
agents should be appointed.

This city and vicinity was visited by a
magnificent rain last night, CONNIE ncing at

Although the country was not suffering for
rain this ample shower will be worth thou

The Caldwell Coal and Gas company, or
ganized some time ago for boring for coal
and gas, are making progress and Will
have their machinery at work in few days.
Every encouragement has been given them
by experts who have looked the, grounds

Stockmen are exhibiting considerable
activity in making their preparations for
the annual spring roundup which is to
commence the 20th of May. Immediately
after that date the shipment Of cattle from
this city will begin for the season and it is
estimated that ESQ 900 head Of cattle will
be pu. on the car. a, this point TO be for

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Since last we sent an article to your val
liable paper much has transpired here that
will be of interest to the many readers OF
the EAGLE
While the boom is still raging in Wichi-
ia, we out here do not fail to feel some OF
its effects and are happy upon receiving the
crumbs which fall to us.
The rain of the previous week has added
much to the success of the coming crops,
thereby rendering the hearts Of the toiling
and respondent farmers more cheerful,
who now look forward with new hope and
new zeal and are making use of the beauti
full weather.
Business. although not steady but fluctuat-
ing. has, in general, been pretty fair, some
times reaching beyond expectation.
Several real estate transfers have been
recorded. Mr.. Ellis sold part of his prop
erty to Mr.. J. Halderman, while MeSsrs.
GREER and Foster have each purchased
half blocks from the town company. In
the meantime several gentlemen, among
them member of Wichita real estate
firm, are negotiating with Mr.. McAlpine,
Town Company agent, for several rows of
lots upon which they intend to build resi-
| dences
Quite number of strangers have been
in town prospecting, and are on the deal so
that we may look for d number Of real
estate transactions and transfers in the near
future.
The new common council met for the
first time last Monday evening and after
taking the oath Of Office set 10

WHAT TROUBLES GEORGE.

The Wichita EAGLE thinks a man who is
in the legitimate drug business can't afford
to sell liquor under the Murray law. All OF
its provisions are humilating and degrading
to the mind of any honorable or right think
ing man. The law holds every druggist to
be depraved villain, destitute OF decency
and devoid Of Observation-Disclosures City
Union.
The law simply holds the druggist to
strict accountability. he has one OF two
things to do-obey it or lay in the county
jail. He can pay his money and take his
choice. The law doesn't provide that q
druggist must be "depraved villain, but
it very clearly specifies that If he makes q
"depraved villain" out of himself then he
and the lookup for 1t, and that's the long
and short of it.
OF course it was expected that George
Martin would oppose the Murray bill. 10
get his regular nip he must either be actu'
ally sick or else he must pc jure himself.
and we know he is enjoying excellent
health.
The Capital has no fight with George,
because we thoroughly understand the SIT
uation, but he can't prevent us feeling
sorry for him.-Capital.
The Capital as usual begs the question.
The EAGLE did not say that the law made
druggist villain but that 1t held every
druggist to be dishonest and depraved.
And further the law is such as to deter
honest druggists and encourage dishonest
ones. As for George Martin we don't be-
lieve that he has any more use for whisky
than we have tor the Capitals crocodile
tears which have such copious flow.

THE CITY OF PRATT.
Genuine Building Boom, Growing Beyond
Anticipation.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Pratt Is at present, as it has been for the
past six months, enjoying real. genuine
feeling of life, and only to see and know
what she is doing, is just to be on her
streets few hours and see the immense
business which is done by the merchants Of
Pratt. Not only merchants, but hotel
men, which it seems almost impossible for
them to feed the number of people coming
and going. The Alamo Is crowded all the
time. Mr.. Ralston, jr., Is genial gentle
man and makes it pleasant for all he can
accommodate.
Campbell Bros. have very dne bus
line and every travelling man knows there
is none better, and to accommodate the
public" is their motto. Their livery out
fits are second to none anywhere.
Now we can't begin to describe the
smiling faces of different real estate men.
They are all happy and full of life
and whys Well, using their own Ian
guage, our city is on the wheels OF rapid
advance, moving onward and upward,
never halting for anything. And we must
saw with them that We haven't seen town
or city in all our travels anywhere OF a
like population, which was doing the ex-
cavating and building that Pratt is doing
at present.
Their new brick hotel is going to be a
beauty, and Of course when 1t Is finished
Mr.. Simpson will have to hire a man to
shake hands and accept the many congrat-
ulations. for we all know how badly such
hotel is needed in the city of Pratt And
if YOU please, We hope to set good square
meal in the new hotel on July 1st.
In regard to prospects throughout Pratt
county, we must say they are very hatter-
ing since the rain; the wheat has livened
ND. and com which was planted is coming
up fine. We have this day passed through
several townships in this county, both by
stage and rail, and The crops look fine and
healthy everywhere.
Therefore, there is no reason why, wneh
the public see Pratt mentioned as the COM
ing CITY of Pratt county, it should not be
accepted.
Town lots are changing hands very rap
